UN Development Programme

Topic: Slums

Head Chair: Amita MuralidharanEmail:​amitaamurali@gmail.comHey all you delegates! My name is Amita Muralidharan and I will be your director for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). Having participated in the Model United Nations program here at Cerritos throughout high school, I have gained so much insight into global issues that affect the international community that I would have otherwise lacked awareness of. MUN has taught me how to refine my people skills and has been a way for me to build character and form lasting friendships! Over the course of my MUN career, I have participated in a variety of committees ranging from FAO to WHO to DISEC to CSTD, among others, but my heart has always had a special place for committees such as UN-Habitat and UNDP! Outside of MUN, I am co-president of the National Honor Society and co-vice-president of the Octagon Club. I’m also on our school’s cross country team! In my free time as an avid Netflix binge watcher, I love watching (and re-watching) shows like Riverdale and Friends. Although it’s bittersweet to embark on the journey that is my fourth and final year of MUN, I am so excited to meet all of you delegates and watch you grow and develop throughout committee! If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me whenever, and I’ll be glad to help!
